Only a few days after their trip into Luz's mind, Amity was finished writing her Grom-posal to Luz. Now comes the big question, how was she going to gain the courage to give it to her? Grom was only two days away and she really needs to give it to her.
"How do I do it? I'm already sweating just at the thought of it." Amity said, before holding her head, "I hope I don't black out again."
Lately, she's been having these moments where she black outs and when she comes too, something is destroyed and damaged. She was so focused on what's been going on with her, that she got startled when Boscha called her.
"Amity! Amity! Amity!" Boscha said, "You'll never believe what happened when I shed my skin!"
"Boscha, I'm in the middle of some-"
"My wings are coming in! This is the greatest day ever!" Boscha said, "Soon I'll be taking to the sky and flying around! I can't wait!"
"Is that all you wanted to tell me?" Amity deadpanned.
"No, I wanted to know how your Grom hunt is going. Find anyone interesting to go with yet?"
"Well, I'm trying to ask... Luz."
"Luz? Luz Noceda? The Avatar herself?"
"No, the other Luz in Hexside." Amity said, "Of course I'm talking about the Avatar. I mean, why wouldn't I want to go with someone so brave, smart, beautiful... sweet... what were we talking about again?"
"Awe, my favorite little lesbian has a crush."
Amity blushed.
"Shut up." Amity said.
Boscha laughed.
"Just ask her, what's the worst thing that will Happen? Is she going to say no? Will she break your heart? She's not like that, you're just worrying."
Amity hung up and turned back to her note.
"What am I going to do? What if she does what Boscha said?"
Amity dropped her head on her desk, afraid of what Luz might do. What if she rejects her? What if she rips the note!? Fear began to override her gayness.
"I'm hopeless."
At the Owl House, Luz was outside, with her eyes closed. She let out short breath before opening her eyes. In front of her was a metal box.
"Alright, I can do this." Luz said, "Focus on the Earth in it and-"
Luz threw a punch at it... and felt pain shoot through her hand.
"AHHH! Son of Agni that hurt!" Luz said, putting her hand in a jug of water and let her Waterbending heal her hand, "Why can't I do this? I'm good with Earthbending, so why can't I Metalbend?"
Luz sat on the box and put her head on her hands.
"Why is this so difficult? I can shoot lightning, control someone's body, but I can't control metal? Why can't I do this?"
"Maybe you should take a break."
Luz turned and saw a face she hasn't seen in a while.
"Ms. Clawthorne!?"
"Shh, keep it down, I'm legally dead." Lilith said, "I have to give something to Edalyn."
"I'll give it to her." Luz said.
Luz decided there was a reason she was legally dead, and decided that it was best not to ask.
"Good." Lilith handed Luz a letter, before realizing something, "By the way, I was wondering if you could show me a little bending."
"Sure, you might want to stand back." Luz said.
Luz brought up her leg and preformed a kick, creating an arch of blue fire. She then threw a few punches, creating more fire. Lilith watched with interest. Luz then turned and pointed her fingers to the sky. Lightning came out of her fingers and flashed in the sky.
"Impressive. I assume you must be powerful to use blue fire?"
"I'm a prodigy." Luz said, "I have a good grasp on Earth and I'm really good with Water, but I never had an Airbending teacher so I'm not really good at it."
Lilith thought about it for a second, this could be a beneficial thing for everyone. She needs to tell the Emperor.
"Thank you for the help, Miss Avatar."
"You're Welcome, Ms. Clawthorne."
"Please, call me Lilith."
"In that case, you can just call me, Luz."
"Very well... Luz, I trust you will keep me being alive a secret?"
"Of course."
Lilith left and Luz went back to trying to Metalbend. When Eda got back an hour later, she found Luz with her hand in a jar of water.
"Still working on this, Kid?"
"I don't think I'll even be a Metalbender."
"You'll get it eventually." Eda said, "You're a strong girl."
"Thanks, Eda, by the way, Lilith came over with a message."
"What?" Eda asked, taking the letter, "Let's see."
Eda read through it and smirked.
"What is it?"
"Nothing to worry about, Kid. Just go up to your room and relax, if what I think is coming up at school, you may want all your energy." Eda said.
Luz just went with it and went upstairs. Eda smiled as she looked back at the note.
"Damn, Lily, I think I like this plan."
In another part of the Isles, Luz's father was preparing his plan. He could already tell, Grom was going to be an interesting night.
